Mere is a realisation in our country of the meed forimmediate experimental research leading to the establishment ofatomic power generation and, as you have pointed oat, great Wertshould be directed not only towards developing elecwie power butalso to accelerating the development and 1 18e of atomic energy ismedicine, agriculture, industry and 3CIAMNO in genera..

It is our oarnest hope that Japan, hy hemming a participantin a borad scale an•-Ty progrerA, -4'1. help to free the onebillion people of Asia from poverty and disown, and help to builda world filled with friendship and love,

As you know, under the present political and moms&conditions in this country, it in not an easy task to translatelofty ideals into hard facts.

We are aware that this program to the greatest end beetcourse for Japan to pursue durinr this century. Ws feel that it isour Baena duty to accomplish our objeetAves, even with a seriousoold war going on. Therefore we affirm anew oar indomitabledetermination to achieve our goal, no meter what the oast.

' It would h? well-righ impossible, however, for Japanto attain success in this sffort viVIent your cooperation end assistanoe,and t at of your country. Vs have heard that your country may beable to,orfer us on a long-term lend-lease beds as the firstdirect sign of encoLoagersont and essintsna. -- an atonic power reactor.

We believe, noreomr,that such evidence ol ,..0, 1 mratioc would too.....e the nobbli of thejofni ag together of or tjo countriee nad would permit both our peoplesto forget the bad dreams of the cast.

Turning miefortuns into forto. ,!4, we would despot thefeeling of am7ty and cooperation betwep a our tvoreopine thboughthe realization of ', lir common destiny sae diuty.
